Summary
Here is an invitation into the after-sundown world of sights and sounds that lies beyond the glow of your campfire. In layman's language, but with scientific accuracy, Vinson Brown covers:
  • How to sharpen your perceptions and become oriented in a world of shadows
  • The telltale night signs and how to read them
  • The night life-style of fish, reptiles and amphibians; what is revealed on the dark beaches and watersides
  • How to observe and identify wild creatures without frightening them
  • Plant life after dark
  • How to perfect a sense of direction
  • Saftey rules and equipment
  • Photographing animals and plants at night; other fascinating projects
Maps on nearly every page show birds and mammals in every geographical location in North America
